FAQ
What is the weight of the Seecamp LWS-380 with an empty magazine?
Per manufacturer specs, the Seecamp LWS-380 weighs 10.5 ounces with no magazine and 11.45 ounces with an empty magazine inserted. Loaded with six rounds of .380 ACP, it comes in just over 13 ounces, keeping it light enough for pocket carry.
Is the Robin’s Egg Blue finish durable?
Yes, the finish is applied over the stainless steel frame and resists scratches and wear from daily use. Like any gun finish, it will show holster wear over time, but the underlying stainless steel protects against rust even if the coating wears thin.
Can I use +P ammunition in this handgun?
Seecamp does not recommend +P ammunition in the LWS-380. The pistol is designed for standard-pressure .380 ACP loads to ensure reliable function and safe operation. Stick with quality defensive rounds like Hornady Critical Defense or Federal Hydra-Shok for best results.
How do I clean the Seecamp LWS-380?
Field strip the pistol by removing the slide and cleaning the barrel and frame with a solvent and a brush. Use a light coat of oil on the slide rails and barrel hood. Avoid over-lubricating, as the small action can gum up. A thorough cleaning every 200-300 rounds keeps it running smoothly.
What holster works best for this model?
Choose a pocket holster specifically molded for the Seecamp LWS-380. Brands like DeSantis and Galco offer models that fit the compact shape and keep the trigger covered. A good holster also protects the Robin’s Egg Blue finish from scratches.
